Yes
I've put this in OOF as although it's photography related it's more about people...

The village down the road from me is holding a fund raiser for a new village hall next week. The Thunderbridge Bluegrass Boys who I've worked with a number of times are playing but the headline act is the Wurzels. I spoke to the organiser about maybe doing something on the night where fans pay for a picture with the bands to raise a bit more cash. No fees for me, cover the costs of the prints/postage and that's all. I've just heard that Wurzels have said no, they don't allow photos with their fans - it's still unclear if they are banning all photography for the night.

Two weeks ago Joss Stone turned up at a restaurant up the road from me that I've done a couple of commerical jobs for and where I shoot various artists when they're playing. Sadly I wasn't able to make so I missed out but I know she'll be playing there again. Anyway, Joss spent the entire night in the restaurant, sang backing vocals and a couple of her own numbers. Was happy to chat with the punters, sign autographs, photos, etc.

In case you're wondering how Joss ended up singing at the restaurant this:

is the drummer who plays there each week, just happens to be her step-father ;)

Anyone else got any stories of celebs showing their good and not so good sides?
 
Good story and I look forward to seeing the pics of Joss. Many years ago when I was bodyguarding, I was just outside a venue where my principal was and Anton Mossiman came out and served me a plate of canapes, he was a real gent and a fascinating man to talk to.

I've got quite a few other tales but confidentiality and all that means I won't spill the beans although I did get p1ssed with Kirk Douglas on one occasion but that is for another time....:D
 
Peter Andre, Chico, Jouney South and Voices With Soul have all been lucky enough to have shared my stage. (not all at the same time). I should really have shares in X FACTOR.

Yeah, see what you mean, maybe i was suffering from illusions of grandeur:LOL: Although Mr Andre in on TVs more than dust recently

I'm often surprised by the celebs that I get in front of the lens (this time doing sound, not camerawork). I was ready to despise Victoria Beckham, for example, but in reality she was charming.

Piers Morgan? Well, less said the better. Total turd.
